[censored] Carlscum for eternity i say

Especially as they have now got a smug little Silvagni picking up dubious free kicks, and what not, from gullible umpires again.

    Frighteningly BBO, I did. Although how much of it was anger at Geelong for winning I don't know. Maybe if a team becomes perennial losers we stop hating them? I know I don't hate Carlton as much as I did.

    They say confession is good for soul RTG but I'm not sure about that. However, I am sure that three Hail Marys are insufficient for your evil sentiments. Give yourself a jolly good (and two handed) flogging immediately!

    Get a hold of yourself man.

    Next thing you'll be feeling sorry for certain other Vic clubs currently down the wrong end of the ladder.

    Just imagine the insufferable entitlement that will exude from them if they make their way back up the ladder. The attitude that they are in their rightful place and deserve to be looking down on the rest of us.

    Feel better now?

    I've just given myself a couple of uppercuts. You're right of course. It was a lapse and won't happen again.

    Harvey not getting suspended is a joke.

     

    Yep hard to believe.

    But this week they are cracking down on dangerous tackles after two spear tackles didn't even rise an eyebrow to anyone at the AFL or media last week.

    Anyone else notice selwoods high punch/push off the ball to the face of opponent which gave away a free kick. the broadcaster barely even showed a replay of the incident and didn't speak a word of it.

    Can't believe the MRP classified the hit by Harvey on Mitchell as careless. If that wasn't intentional I don't know what is. Smells like corruption to me.

    Spot on, it was equally as deliberate at Sicily's hit on Vince.

    They might as well have come out and said since there's a slim chance Kangaroos may not make the finals and Harvey may not play on next year we don't want him to be suspended for what's possibly his last two games.

    It's so transparent isn't it.

    Their pretences get weaker and weaker.

    I'd like to think that the Age or the HUN would run a poll asking fans if they think he got off for those reasons. But they wouldn't dare.

     

    (But I like your 'slim chance' of the Kangaroos making the finals.

    TV Broadcasting rights dictate who "plays" and who doesn't. 

    A no name player would have got 2 weeks

    Hopefully Boomer will get what he deserves next week....Behind the Play...

    [censored] you Boomer Harvey and [censored] you MRP.

    Can we really be that sad given whose face Harvey smashed...? 

    Karma, and may more players feel encouraged to treat Mitchell likewise.

    Well, sure, but why is it ok that these peanuts are allowed to get away with this? Bernie Vince wafts an elbow within 5 feet of someone's face and gets rubbed out. These guys (including Mitchell last week) are allowed to make contact to the face, and nothing happens. It irritates the [censored] out of me.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
